Adoption Information

Please note, we have only listed our adoption policies here. After viewing the adoption policies if you are interested in adopting, require further information or would like to help with a donation, please click on the Adoption link (http://www.companionparrots.org).

Our Adoption site, Companion Parrots Re-homed (CPR) is in the process of applying for 501(c)3 nonprofit status. Foster and permanent homes are always needed. When someone applies, a home visit is scheduled. A minimum of two classes is required. Further education may be required depending on the applicant’s skill level and the particular bird being sought. All our birds have lost at least one home and we do our best to insure its next home is as good a match as possible.

CPR does not purchase birds.
CPR will accept birds donated based on the birds needs and on availability of foster and/or potential adoption homes.
CPR does not breed birds or place any birds into breeding situations.
CPR is cautious about adopting birds into homes with very small children. CPR will not adopt birds into homes with bird-aggressive dogs, cats or other bird-aggressive pets.
Potential adopters are required to attend our Parrots 101 class as well as any other classes deemed necessary.
Potential adopters must complete a copy of our adoption application.
All potential adopters will be interviewed and will receive one or two home visits before being approved for adoption.
Approved adoption applications will be placed on a waiting list if a bird is not currently in our system that would be a good match for the approved adopter.
Only one parrot adoption per home is allowed in any 12-month time period. CPR reserves the right to decline adoptions based on an excessive number of birds already in the home.
Adopters may be required to pay an adoption fee based on fees the bird may have incurred.
Adopted birds are to remain in the home and be treated as a member of the family.
Adopted birds may not be sold, given away, bred, or used for any type of monetary purposes.
Those wishing to adopt a bird will be required to spend hands-on time with their potential adopted bird under supervision before being approved.

CPR does not place birds into aviary situations.
Birds must remain in a 100% smoke-free environment.

It is required that all birds placed for adoption must receive an annual veterinarian examination.

All birds undergo a strict 30-day quarantine; an exam, a CBC, a gram stain. Additional testing is performed on a case by case basis.

Birds we have for adoption...

Bob (or Robert when he is being mischevious) is a male budgie of unknown age. Landing on the shoulder of a gentleman doing his yard work, Bob joined us two months ago. Not hand tame (yet) Bobby LOVES to sing. We are constantly entertained by his songs.

I am a black-capped lory named Sweetie Girl. I possess a HUGE vocabulary and am very active. Must warn you, I am a nectar eater which makes my poops runny and sticky. I LOVE to "projectile poop" and laugh when I hit someone! This makes me high maintenance but I will provide tons of enjoyment in return.

Am I not the most handsome male congo african grey you have ever seen? My name is Beau and my life story is quite a long one. I am at least 38 years old and have been through more homes than I care to recall. Along the way I was very friendly but someone abused my friendship so now I am not very trusting. My foster dad has really helped restore my faith in humans but I still have a long way to go. I would really appreciate a patient, loving home that would be willing to work with me on my own terms.

My name is Jake. I am a 14 year old male Catalina macaw. I am very friendly but got too close to my dad. I was very vocal whenever he was home, making it difficult to think straight for the family! By not overbonding I will make a good companion for someone with experience.

Bob's Wife #1 - Bob's Wife #1, 2, 3 Bob has his own little harem. They all enjoy their time with him.

Bob's Wife #2 - Bob's Wife #1, 2, 3 Bob has his own little harem. They all enjoy their time with him.

Bob's Wife #3 - Bob's Wife #1, 2, 3 Bob has his own little harem. They all enjoy their time with him.

Riley is a male Senegal that is 4 years old. While he is picky about whom he likes he can be quite sweet. He has a darling, squeaky voice.

The Old Men are two elderly bachelors that were found outdoors separately. Once with us they found good company in each other. One is hand tame and very sweet.

Tooey is a 4 year old Lesser Sulpher Crested Cockatoo. Another picky one that is selective of whom he likes. He LOVES to play and cut up.

My name is Roxanne but you can call me Roxie if you like. I am a four year old Congo African Grey. Once I get to know you I will converse with you. I can mimic any sound after hearing it only once or twice.

Hi, I am a male cockatiel named Keiko. I am FULL of personality and love to talk. Head scratches are one of my favority things.
